What do active duty woft selection boards use to select?

These are the questions you need to ask the CW5 you have writing one of your LORs. If you don’t have one I highly recommend you find one.

I have the privilege of swearing him in at MEPS this Thursday...honored and obviously proud as hell!

Everything in the top half of the WO Application Checklist can be reviewed by the board. I was always told LOR's and Resume were the most important, but who's to say each board member feels the same way? One person might value a sharp DA Photo while another will focus on the Resume. In any case, all you can do now is wait for the Milper message / e-mail. Good luck!
